A Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar for Vietnamese

In this paper, we present the first sizable grammar built for Vietnamese using LTAG, developed over the past two years, named vnLTAG. This grammar aims at modelling written language and is general enough to be both application- and domain-independent. It can be used for the morpho-syntactic tagging and syntactic parsing of Vietnamese texts, as well as text generation. We then present a robust parsing scheme using vnLTAG and a parser for the grammar. We finish with an evaluation using a test suite

A Metagrammar for Vietnamese LTAG

International audienceWe present in this paper an initial investigation into the use of a metagrammar for explicitly sharing abstract grammatical specifications for the Vietnamese language. We first introduce the essential syntactic mechanisms of the Vietnamese language. We then show that the basic subcategorization frames of Vietnamese can be compactly represented by classes using the XMG formalism (eXtensible MetaGrammar). Finally, we report on the implementation the first metagrammar producing verbal elementary trees recognizing basic Vietnamese sentences
